Promovendus ‘Sociotherapeutische leefmilieu’s op woongroepen voor jonge mensen met dementie’

Radboudumc

  • Nijmegen, Netherlands

Functie Iedereen is verschillend en heeft een eigen persoonlijkheid. Waar de ene persoon behoefte heeft aan sociale contacten of uitdaging, zoekt de ander juist rust, structuur en veiligheid. Met sociotherapeutische leefmilieu’s (STL’s) stemmen we de leefomgeving binnen een zorginstelling af op de individuele kenmerken en behoeften van mensen met dementie die daar verblijven. Binnen het landelijke onderzoeksprogramma

PhD in late ancient philosophical historiography

KU LEUVEN

  • Leuven, Belgium
  • History » Ancient history

The project intends to develop a new model for editions of fragments, making use of the possibilities of digital editions. By ‘fragments’ we mean instances of incomplete text reuse. The goal is not exclusively to reconstruct what would otherwise be lost, but to map text reuse as a whole. Fragments are not treated as chunks of text extracted from source texts but as a demarcation of the relevant data in the latter plu
